Continued Learning, Part 1

Reading wasn’t always my favourite thing to do. In fact, throughout high-school, I believe I mastered the art of writing a paper without reading the book. I look back, however, and think of how better my papers would have been if I started reading sooner. Some of it had to do with the topics, and I certainly didn’t like fiction. But as I’ve entered into the workplace, future education, and now into ministry, I’ve realized reading keeps your mind sharp.

This is a 3 part series about how we can continue to learn beyond the traditional classroom setting.

In Newfoundland and Labrador (where I live), we have an increasing excuse to decrease our reading habits. Unfortunately, the province added a tax to books. But just because we’re the only province in Canada to tax books, doesn’t mean we have to be the only province who stops reading. I’d like to offer five cost-effective ways we can make this happen:

What people are saying:

"I am pleased to endorse Andrew’s blog to you, the reader! Andrew writes well, thinks deeply, and is unafraid to tackle the latest issues in Christian life and discipleship. Anything he writes is well worth reading!"

"Andrew has the ability to challenge the way we see the world, the church, the scriptures, and ourselves. His offerings are fresh, not rehashed or warmed over, as he invites us to take another look at things, to see a little clearer and perhaps further. With his forthright and easy style, he’s like a friend who nudges our comfort zone, ever so gently."

Andrew is a great writer and a passionate leader. I’ve read his interesting thoughts and teachings and have personally benefited from the discussions I’ve seen afterward between people on different sides of many different issues.

"Andrew cuts through a world filled with high decibels and white noise with clarity and conviction on topics that are important and relevant to our community and culture. His biblical insights and leadership gems are a worthy read. It is amazing to see the dream of the “The Journey Holm” become a reality!"

"I always enjoy reading Pastor Andrew's blog. His topics are very timely and thought provoking. I also find his words to be very uplifting and encouraging."
